This episode in the series of 13 programs covering the development of modern art is concerned with the depiction of realism. However, there are as many interpretations of realism as there are artists, and The Adventure of Modern Art: Contemporaries: The Quest for Reality looks at its many manifestations. The reality of George Segal involves figures in ordinary situations, who retain the off-white shade of the plaster from which they're made. Chuck Close paints faces in ultra-closeups. Other artists include photographs and objects in their works. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
